Joshua Clottey and Winky Wright question

winkys defense @ his prime was IMPREGNABLE!\!!!!! not even close imo ! CO-SIGN! Clottey only has his high guard on his arsenal, He isn't that brilliant defensively IMO but he makes up for it in his ability to absorb punches that goes inside his guard. for me he's a hardy fighter not a defensive genius.

winkys defense @ his prime was IMPREGNABLE!\!!!!! not even close imo ! +1 Wink's defense isn't as good as it used to be but it's better than Clottey's.

Winky's defense seems easier to pentrate now than a few years ago. I would have to go with Clottey now but Winky in his prime was impossible to hit.

are you or are you not a stiff robotic bum?

I use the same style of D, you can shell up and ride out the storm then attack, or you can open the gloves to parry and counter as they punch, or you can throw in upperbody movement and slip, roll etc It's a great style. If it has a drawback, it's that you can get too complacent sitting behind it, and you can lose rounds on inactivity. i bet your a stiff robotic bum

Winky in his prime was a terrific defensive fighter, Clottey doesn't match up.

I think Clottey would be more competitive than Winky. I don't think Williams would bully Clottey around.

Eddie Chambers has a pretty decent peekaboo defense.

Josh probably gets hit less, because Winky took more chances and opened up more. I kinda like Joshua's defense better. He has good counters from his peek a boo defense, while Wright kinda just shells up and waits for his opponent to stop throwing punches.

I'd say Winky.

I dont know when Winky fought Tito he was a defensive wizard that night lol
